ITALIAN BRIGANDS.
They Cut or Ears, Toes and Fingers Of
Captycs Held for Ransom.

CaptiYcs Held for Ransom.
In one of the last kidnapping cases which
took place in the kingdom of Naples, when
the traveller held in bondage was q
wealthy English gentleman, the General
commanding tho Italian forces offered to
scnd whole brigados of infantry and
ca valry and whole batteries of artillery
against the brisauds IL the relatives Of tho
kidnapped gentleman would only undertake
not to enter into negotiations with tho
"Cattiva Gente, ".says a London paper. Tho
contention of the Italian General was
ostensibly logical. He explained to
the Englishman's family that tho
brigands would not dare to
harm hair OF their relatives head, be.
cnuse if they ventured to do so the en-.
ire division al command. horse, foot and
dragons, would be down upon them and
utterly annhiate them. The family re.
piled quite as logically that if the ban
! ts did,not get the ransom the chances
were in favor of their numbering the
English gentleman "pOir eacOWd0er les
Gutres," and that afterward they woul d
quietly disperse in the hope of evading
the pursuit of the Government troops.
Sometimes the brigands, when they had
got wealthy prisoner into their
clutches, would, by their emissaries, send
to his family fragments of his eorporeal
structure-one day, an ear; the
next, toe; the third a finger;
the fourth, two front teeth,
carefully wrapped up as a parcel, with a
polite warning that il the ransom were
not forthcoming the travellers eyes, and
then his legs, and ultimately his head,
would follow.
These barbarous processes for raising
the wind, however, were only resorted to
IN cases when wealthy Italian farmers or
shopkeepers were the victims. The brig
,nds knew fullwel the surest way Of
conquering the penuriousness of tho
prisoners family. They knew that they
would only ''partp when absolutely forced
to do so by ocular testimony of the treat
ulent inflicted on their kinsman.

THE PUBLIC DEBT.
A Very Rapid Increase Under Decreas
Ing Circumstatrces


The assumed rapid decrease OF the public
debt OF the United States, as shown IN the
statements published, has seemed very mar
Velous 10 foreigners. The experience of
other nations with their public debts leads
them 10 doubt the statements of this country.
MOST OF them have continually increasing In
stead OF decreasing national debts.
How then, they ask, can tho United
states diminish its debt so rapidlyl
d, The prosperity Of the people during all
these years has been undated. In fact the
country has never seen such an era of gen.
eral prosperity. The two conditions appear
10 be contradictory
Are the statements truel
In one sense they are undoubtedly cor
rect, but the public debt has largely in
creased since the var. IL has accumulated
To the great inventors aud discOvcrers whose
successful efforts have eascd the burdens
toll.
A grateful public should also aclsnowl.
edge its Indebtedness 10 those who have
promoted health and happiness. The pro-
prletors of Warmers safe cure have given
To the public "a specific for all kidney dis
orders, and the inuumcrahe train of fright
ful diseases that are caused by them. The
late public teacher, Dir. Dlo Lewis, who sell
dom prescribed medicines of any sort, gave
to this renowned specific his warm com
mendation, and said if he found himself suf-
fering from any kidney disorder he should
use it. Kidney disorders are the cause of
a3 per cent, say the proprietors of that
remedy, of all diseases. II you keep the
kidneys in health, you have the greatest as
suranco OF freedom from all disease.
Before the discovery Of this remedy,
brighrs disease was deemed ncurable.
Now tho number of victims of the
dread kidney diseases, and all others
caused by such diseases, who are by il
snatched from death constantly increases,
and as tho efficacy of the remedy becomes
more widely known those who have rNason
90 be devoutly thankful that this wonderful
specific has been made known TO the world,
multiply with rapidly increasing ratio.

Abraham I.incnIn,. nnnestx.

When Abraham Lincoln was a clerk in q
dry goods store he sold woman n little
bill of goods, amounting in value by the
reckoning to S2.061-4. He received the
money, and the woman went away. On
adding the items of the bill again to make
himself sure Of correctness, he found that
be had taken 6 Ia cents too much. 1t was
night, but, closing and locking the store,
he started out on foot, distance Of two or
three miles, for the house OF the defrauded
customer, and, delivering over to her tho
sum whose possession had so much troubled
him, went home satisfied.
